Liv Warfield

Liv Warfield is a passionate R&B vocalist with a huge, soulful voice and dynamic stage persona. A native of Peoria, Illinois, Warfield grew up in a religious family as the daughter of a deacon in the Pentecostal Church of Jesus. Although gospel music, and secular artists such as Etta James and Whitney Houston were early inspirations, Warfield did not initially pursue a music career, focusing instead on track and field. In 1999, Warfield moved to Portland, Oregon on a track & field scholarship at Portland State University. It was during this time that she began attending karaoke nights at such local Portland lounges as Galaxy and Ambassador. The experiences emboldened her and soon Warfield had completely devoted herself to a singing career. By 2002, she was performing regularly around town and in 2004, she released her debut album, Embrace Me. In 2008, Warfield's energetic stage performances and neo-soul style caught the ear of R&B legend Prince, who added her as a member of his New Power Generation ensemble. When not touring with Prince, she performs with her own group, the Liv Warfield Experience, and in 2014, she delivered her sophomore, full-length album, The Unexpected. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi

I will NEVER hear Liv Warfield on the radio stations where I live! What use to be Urban/R&B radio stations are straight up Whack & SHOT TO HELL in 2015! Are there any AA owned radio stations left in the US or did the AA owners sell them and sellout for the money?! Thanks Goodness for Pandora!! #truth

I been searching to see her live and missed her in DC in 2011 and please tell when she will be doing a show??? I will fly to see her she takes me to another place real songs from the heart and soul about real relationships

I overlooked her album for years because, judging by her album cover, I thought she was just another R&B chick using T&A for sales. But after listening to her songs on here, I just had to buy this album. I now look at the album cover differently: it's as sexy as her voice and music. The fact that she's a fellow Midwestern native doesn't hurt either. She's been backing up Prince on his latest album and her live album just dropped this year, so thankfully she's still around.
